Just finished. I don’t think I’ve personally ever read a book with a character like this. Made me anxious and terrified and angry and sad all at once. A book I could only read in bits and pieces because it overwhelmed me at times, but at the same time it was a book i couldn’t put down. #booksky

I’m about 130 pages into Yesteryear and it is SO anxiety-inducing so far I don’t know how to feel about it. #currentlyreading #booksky

#OLTL Blair Promo - July 1994

#OLTL Aug 01. Natalie's first time inside Llanfair! She tells Jess she was waiting at the bus stop down the street when she got sprayed with mud/water.

#AllMyChildren Nov 90. Ngl, I would pay money to see a beat-for-beat recreation of this Erica/Travis/Barbara/Tom story on a modern soap.

#OLTL Aug 01. I love the fact that someone in the writers' room had the good idea to bring Larry Wolek back on canvas for a blip just so he can be Blair's doctor and be - once again! for the third time! - suspicious of her due date.

#AllMyChildren Nov 90. The actor playing Jeremy is ... not the best but I do appreciate that he's Quebecois and the show made him Quebecois instead of French (how often does *that* happen, right?). Anyway, I'm looking forward to Jeremy seducing his son's fiancé lmao

#AllMyChildren Oct 90. Barbara and Travis out here travelling to Center City to fake being a married couple to get artificially inseminated?? That is nefarious to the core - no wonder Erica cheats on him with Jack.

#OLTL Aug 01. They are styling Al's hair slightly differently and I think this is, like, the first step to figuring out that they need to recast 🤣

I keep thinking about how badly Days fumbled the character of Jada ... a POC, related to a classic 80s character while still able to make current ties on canvas, in a relationship with a legacy character that was/is popular with fans ... just an all around fumble.

Is there a start date for Jamey's material on #YR yet?

Tracy bringing up Her Sons today actually raises an intriguing question of WHY ARE NONE OF THESE WHITE GUYS WITH BROWN HAIR PLAYING DILLON FUCKING QUARTERMAINE? #gh

Cookie Monster's Take Me Out To The Ballgame

#AllMyChildren Oct 90. Random observations: - GF as Ceara is fabulous! - Ceara & Jack actually work really well together ? I know it goes in a different direction, but I like them. - Based on the amount of moralizing Jack did in the 00s, I never would've guessed he was the black sheep of the family

Knowing a character is exiting a soap with a death this far in advance feels like the actor leaked it, right?

Fiona Hutchison absolutely carried the show on her back in 89-90, and it's really no surprise the show couldn't hold itself up when she exited in 1991. #OLTL

Topher@tallytofu.bsky.social · 5d ago

Becoming obsessed with how Fiona Hutchinson amps up the melodrama at every turn. Gabrielle is absolutely sincere here, but she’s using “the truth” for maximum emotional manipulation. This lady said I am on a SOAP, dammit, every day that she came to that set. #OLTL 1989

#AllMyChildren Oct 90. *screams in OLTL* (I love it when working NYC actors just show up in all the East coast soaps)

#OLTL 2001 was ready to serve up the 80s on a platter but soaps as a genre and viewers weren’t quite ready for that. I think the nostalgia factor didn’t quite land until mid-00s, when ratings were a little more dire. Anyway, Gabrielle Medina was nonetheless ready to serve. 🫡

the way I hollered! ☠️ #OLTL 1989

The promos were just SO much better than the actual show 🤷‍♀️ #PortCharles August 2001 promo (Tainted Love arc)

#OLTL Jul 01. Jessica Morris started as Jennifer Rappaport in January 2001 and by the end of July had already appeared in 111 episodes. Second amongst the whole cast so far. Good grief.

I'm not sure why I have to keep telling people this but if you see a mug shot of an attractive woman and some bizarre story attached to it, it's AI generated and a fake story from a Facebook content mill. Stop sharing it!

why are you showing me this now after I have been married for almost a decade

Just got my 3rd emergency tornado warning of the summer. I live in an area that doesn't traditionally get tornados.

#OLTL Jul 01. The show is never clear (and didn't need to be) about when Sam found out Matthew wasn't his - BUT watching everything in hindsight - Sam advising Blair about biological paternity rights for unborn Jack - adds a little something special. An easter egg kind of.

#OLTL Jul 01. I know KDP speaks highly of Tomlin's era here for a few reasons, but god, this is the point where Blair becomes a woebegone heroine who is so fully unsure of herself, it's kind of terrible. I'm kind of surprised at my younger self for seeing this as my first era of TnB & loving them.

I think I lost some rare OLTL bloopers when my hard-drive crashed. 😭 Some of the YT files have since gone private, I think. They were, like, 20-minute short films that the crew put together at the end of each year for the show holiday party, I think.
